Suggested One Read: Flowers for Algernon

Welcome back to another book suggestion for next year’s One Read. We will continue to accept nominations until November 30 so don’t forget to go to oneread.org to suggest a book!

Today we’ll be looking at a classic book, “Flowers for Algernon” by Daniel Keyes. The story of a mentally disabled man whose experimental quest for intelligence mirrors that of Algernon, an extraordinary lab mouse. The nominator had this to say: “a classic, this book will make you think about things outside of your comfort zone.”

Check back on Thursday for another suggested book for next year’s One Read.
